Replied!

Eibach Pro-Kit 7722.140 - $100 shipped, firm.  SOLD

Held on to these for way too long after selling car. Jan 1, 2023 I'll just finally take the loss and trash it, but I'd really rather see these go to someone who'll use them.

All parts were never installed as I sold the car before I had the opportunity.

Doubtful anyone needs these, but I also have:
Subaru "Rear" Oxy Sensor 22690aa91a - $40 shipped
Subaru OCV - 10921aa140 - $50 (set of 2) shipped

I accept PayPal (Preferred), Zelle, cash for local pickup.

or cash for local pickup sales. Buyer pays PayPal 3% fee.

I doubt Subaru just threw in random parts. They probably made just running changes as they ramped up production. In another thread I notice Subaru changed the turbo oil feed banjo bolt pretty early on as well. Did you put your VIN into Subaru's Part catalog and look the OCV up that way?

 

Yes sir, I did. That's how I always check for part numbers since it usually gives you revised parts as well.

 

My wife (former Subie sales) has a word in with the local regional rep to see if there's any recourse as even dealers couldn't figure out why my parts didn't match what it should have.

Is this as common as the older models? (almost seems to be routine maintenance ) I've recently found out that my car is kind of a mutant when it comes to parts. Being one of the first run '10s, it seems Subaru just threw whatever they had leftover from other cars into it.

 

Have been experiencing a P0014 code for the last few months. Did a little recon with the AP and the corresponding OCV is definitely failing. Degree monitor shows it fine one second and then off by 10-20deg the next (as compared to it's opposed counterpart). From there it may just sit at 0 altogether. I figured it was an easy enough part to obtain so went to the trusty old Subaru parts site and found what I needed. Ordered at half cost on Amazon and took it to the shop. They called and said it was the wrong part. This is the second shop to look at it (my local dealership told me the same thing, but pointed me to a completely incorrect thing).

 

Long story, shortened; after some recon and research, the OCV's on my car are from a 2009 model year Tribeca. Subaru parts references 10921AA140 as the correct unit, but what's in the car is...not.

 

Are mishaps like this common? I haven't seen too many threads on OCV failure as a whole for turbo's so wondering if by '11, the issue was resolved with the "current" part number. Any thoughts?

Well, the OEM fork lasted about 65k which just about lines up with the lifespan of an aftermarket clutch system. It cost me 30 bucks to replace (MSRP is like 40 on the Subie parts site). I see no reason to drop 6x that on a part that should have been over-engineered from the factory. If this was a problem that plagued my circa 90's Stealth, sure. But not a 2010 family hauler.

I had no squeaks. The failure was sudden. I got home, parked the car, went in the house to get something, came back out, put foot on clutch and felt my leg do far more work than it did before.

 

I'm on Exedy stage 1 too...

A few weeks back my clutch suddenly got super heavy. After a quick bit of research, I saw similar pictures on the internet referencing WRX's, BRZ's, etc. I figured, "no way this can really happen, right?". I figured maybe the pressure plate failed in a weird way. It's just not a problem I've ever experienced in my 30+ years of driving manual transmission vehicles. Boy was I wrong.

 

The worse part is I had no choice but to drive it that way until such a time as I could get it to my mechanic (Don't judge, I have a toddler and my wife and I both work full time so time is a premium). The fork wore a bit of a divet into the case...(pic 2).

 

Interestingly enough, I've only seen one or two threads on here about fork failures, but plenty of hits via the Googs. Man, remember when Japanese mfg's over-engineered parts on even their pedestrian cars?

Changing my Kia Stinger GT vote...

Genesis G70 will definitely look sexier IMO

 

Edit: poop, MT only on the 2.0t engine. But seeing it in motion as it's been out for quite a while overseas...me likey.

I have done the $20K in mods & parts into couple $20K vehicles. Now, I would rather buy $50-60K car and put $1-2k of mods into that.

 

Absolutely this. Getting old is a mofo. But it comes with the territory of just wanting to enjoy a car instead of constantly fixing a heavily modded car.

Side note: The Stinger motor is fully closed deck block with beefy internals that supposedly is good for about 700hp. The transmission is design rated for 1100Nm( 800lb-ft ) in the service manual and all the drive line components are way beefier than necessary... It's like they *want* you to mod it...

 

If only they had added all that unnecessary beef with the Genesis Coupe, Hyundai would have had a Korean Supra on their hands... Instead they add all that to an automatic sport family sedan.

 

WAT.

Hows the Kool-Aid in FantasyLand?

Here in NorCal, dealer offered $5-7K lease cash on various GT models and they said I could buy out the lease after 1 month, effectively getting $5-7k off MSRP for a purchase.

 

Family didn't like the seats that much - preferred the Q50, so I'm looking at a 3.0T AWD Sport. Delicious has a tune for them that puts them over 400 hp.

 

Q50 is a solid choice from a "sexy semi-luxury" standpoint. As a former Nissan owner though, I'm leery of its reliability. Genuinely don't think I'd say no to one though LOL

So am I the only one that likes the new Camry?

So am I the only one that thinks the new Accord is Ugly?

 

Sub 30K sedans, what is your favorite...annnnnnnndddd go

 

New Camry actually looks tits on the road. (I see a ton of things being tested on my commute)

 

Anything worth driving is gonna be north of 30k me thinks. New Camry XSE starts at 32 according to Toyotas site. Kia Stinger GT, 32-50 depending on trim. Fusion Sport, 33ish. And that's not even delving into the Euro market. Unless you mean small, Chevy Cruise-class 4 doors...

Most comfortable seat I've ever sat in was a 3.6L leather interior outback. I want to say it's around 2013 model. I've sat in everything from a 60's beetle to a Maserati granturismo and that Outback by far, had the most comfortable seats.

 

So when your Subie kicks the bucket, what will you drive next?

 

#ShamelessAttemptToGetBackOnTopic

People don't buy Subarus for the interior or exterior styling. They buy them because they are cheapish, AWD, reliable, and hold their value.

 

I would argue most people who buy Subarus are more interested in safety 1st. If you knew the demographics of the average Subaru buyer you would know how absurd your remark is.

 

I didn't miss the point, your points were just wrong...opinions on looks differ but the facts are the facts, most Subaru buyers can afford "nicer" cars but they still buy a Subaru.

 

Honestly, after going back and reading this again, I think you guys aren't really "disagreeing" as much as you think you are. Subaru interiors were crap. Period. They sucked when you compare what you were getting for the money compared to other brands. (I mean, my tan interior on my GT gets stained by water...clean, clear, WATER.) They sacrificed interior "quality" for a long time to offset the costs of improving safety and AWD on everything. Fulton may not have included safety in his initial statement, but I think you just add that to the list. It's not mutually exclusive and part of the overall reason "non-turbo" buyers choose Subaru.

 

I know about Subaru demographics because of my wife having worked in Subaru sales for quite a while. FL's statement about their capability of affording nicer cars is definitely correct, but doesn't really negate Fulton's statement. Actually, it adds to it. The well-to-do non-Eurosnob yuppies that buy Subaru's brand new (no offense to any WTDNEY's here...good for you) by writing checks outright buy them because they are AWD, safe, and hold value. They don't care about interior or exterior styling too much (if at all...) and they perceive them as reliable. They don't want to drive a Camry because it's not AWD and everyone drives one, but they don't care enough to buy anything "flashy".

 

The people who don't buy the few performance Subaru's are a very niche group of people. Plain and simple.

People don't buy Subarus for the interior or exterior styling. They buy them because they are AWD, safe, and hold their value. Subaru has only recently started treating their interiors like more than an afterthought.

 

Fixed that for you:lol:

It's funny how no matter what strides in quality, reliability, and performance Kia/Hyundai make, all you hear is "I'll never own one". Well, I've owned 3. They're solid if you maintain them. Aside from the GenCoupe's failure of a manual trans (which they replaced with a newer revised model on their dime, out of warranty), never had a hiccup engine wise.

 

Now I agree about the used value, etc. I'll never buy another car new LOL. I don't have that kind of money to piss away. Soon as that Stinger comes on the used market, I'm snatching one up. Saw it at the Detroit auto show last year and was hooked!

Teaser, after the comments in my Koni serviceability rebuild thread, I'm shocked more Legacy owners aren't flocking to them. I wonder if it's because they don't have a full perch model specifically for us. You were in talks with them a while back, have you heard anything further on a specific integrated model for us or was the WRX full strut design pretty much where it all stops?

Fair enough, feel free to moderate away.

Considering the original combo kit they offered was just the inserts anyway, and everything else in that e-mail was information that can essentially be found elsewhere in this exact thread, what exactly is muddy? Perhaps its my fault for calling his reply convoluted... I fail to see how more info is worse.

*post committed seppuku*

Gotcha, thanks Teaser.

I see. Is that the tab that's missing on the WRX front struts? I couldn't tell from Whit's pictures.

Linksus, are those fronts just painted OEMs with Koni inserts?

I guess nobody got tax refunds.

 

I honestly think that about sums it up...
